Registration Starts: Friday, December 1, 2017

Location:

Description:

This online training is for relatives raising relative children.

In the State of Michigan, over 28% of children under the age of 17 have experienced two or more adverse childhood experiences, well above the national average. Adverse childhood experiences include verbal, psychological, physical, or sexual abuse (witness or victim), among other somewhat complex traumatic events (ACES Study, 2011). These traumatic experiences can greatly affect how children view and cope with life. Complexly traumatized children often behave in ways that seem random, unpredictable, withdrawn and extreme, struggling with impulse control and being able to think through consequences (NCTSN, 2017). Research and practice are now opening our eyes to the significant relationship between behavior and Trauma exposure. In this workshop, you will learn about common similarities and differences between typical developmental behaviors and Trauma behavior, as well as, the interrelatedness of each. You will receive strategies for parenting children who are exhibiting big behavior due to trauma exposure. In addition, you will receive tips and resources for further education and tools available to families.

Not all injuries cause pain, and not all pain is due to injuries. An explosion of brain research demonstrates that all pain is constructed by the brain as a danger/alarm function. It is imperative to distinguish pain caused by structural disorders from pain caused by neural pathways in the brain. Appropriate treatment of pain is guided by this distinction with the goal of resolution of pain for individuals with neural pathway-induced pain.

Description:

Child welfare workers (CWW) effect social justice through working with families and children in need of help. CWWs are well positioned to seek social justice on a broader scale through using their knowledge and skills as advocates for change. However, most CWWs think that advocacy on this level is relevant only to macro-level or policy-oriented workers. Few CWWs think of advocating for social justice as a part of their daily work. This webinar will explore a conceptual framework that challenges the traditional micro/macro-level practice dichotomy as it relates to the pursuit of social justice. The webinar will also consider how CWWs pursue social justice through their work without even realizing they do so. Finally, this webinar will challenge CWWs to be more thoughtful regarding how they may intentionally seek opportunities to effect social justice in the child welfare field. This webinar will utilize visual displays, incorporate participant feedback, and allow time for questions and answers.

4466 | Ethics for Social Workers and Substance Use Disorder Providers in the 21st Century

Registration Ends: Thursday, April 30, 2020

Location:

The MTG Space, 4039 Legacy Parkway, Lansing, MI 48911

Description:

The conceptual foundation of ethics represents an inherent and essential framework for behavioral health, including clinical social work. While assuming all ethical standards and professional codes of ethics represent identical approaches to care, however, significant differences exist. In this workshop, emphasis will be given to examining personal values and ethical concepts, contrasting those personal beliefs to professional codes of ethics, and determining appropriate approaches to clientele. In addition, given the demands within behavioral health, boundary crossings as well as boundary violations receive prominent focus and attention. While some presentations in ethics exhibit a dry, boring, and sterile coverage of standards and professional codes, this workshop will actively engage participants, prioritizing current issues in the field through use of controversial topics and issues. Participants should come prepared for a thought-provoking, emotionally challenging, actively engaged day via a multi-media, multi-sensory format, teaching to all styles of learning. Case study material will be utilized, with video clips presented from various health care disciplines, and didactic material that addresses both the conceptual and practical levels.

Recommended for LMSW intermediate skill level.

Location:

The Leona Group, 2123 University Park Drive, Okemos, MI 48864

Description:

Workshop participants will be introduced to the CFT model of compassion and how to apply this model in interventions for people with psychosis. Specifically, participants will learn how to help their clients:
• Establish a bodily experience of safeness through, e.g.: i) practice of soothing rhythm breathing, which activates the parasympathetic system; ii) learning to recognize what postures and activities ground and center the person; and iii) using mindfulness and imagery exercises.
• Create the external contexts (e.g. interpersonal and environmental) in which safeness experience can flourish.
• Develop a ‘compassionate self’, which is a part of them with the qualities required to explore and engage with their fears, voices, and dissociated parts; essentially, a self-identity that organizes the mind and provides a secure base (or grounding) from which to do the therapeutic work.
• Use these compassionate qualities and skills to manage internal conflicts and to initiate supportive dialogue between voices and different emotional parts. This is achieved through techniques such as voice dialoguing / talking with voices, imagery, chair work, and letter writing.

Recommended for LMSW beginning and intermediate skill levels.
